When first opened, the tool appears in
Graph view and shows the graph of
A(n) = b × A(n - 1) + c
You can change the values of
a,
b, and
c by dragging the sliders. Alternatively, you can type in values for
a,
b, and
c directly. (Note that you can enter values outside the range of the sliders. For instance, the slider for
b goes from -2 to 2, yet you can type -13, 3, or 1000 into the box directly.)
In Window view, you can change the range of x- and y-values that are displayed in Graph view.
In Y= or Plots view, you can enter up to five standard equations and up to two recursive equations. (When first opened, the recursive equation A(n) = b × A(n - 1) + c is already entered into one of the recursive boxes.)
